MAY 31, 1940 - NOVEMBER 1, 2017

Peacefully with her family by her side at Emmanuel House on Wednesday November 1st, 2017 at the age of 77. Beloved wife of the late Gilles Gaston for 45 years. A loving and devoted mother in all ways. Mom to Philip(Suzanne), Michael (Karen) and Gilles (Charmaine). A proud and loving Gramma to Joseph, Kathleen, Taylor, Benjamin, Lise, Jean Luc, Lauren, Marc and Gabriel. Dear sister of the late George Menu. Iris was a devoted nurse of the old school. She worked in a variety of disciplines for close to 40 years in Smooth Rock Falls and Penetanguishene Ontario. Always interested in further development and never backing down from a challenge she held a seat on council in Penetanguishene for several years. Iris was an avid bridge player and loved to knit, play golf, and pursued a life long love of painting on canvas. She made the best pies and her canned peaches and jams will be sorely missed. A special thank you to Emmanuel House and Ward C 3 at the Juravinski Cancer Center.
